EDITORS COMMENTS

The composition exudes a sense of tranquility as both animals seem to coexist peacefully within their shared environment. The heron stands tall on one leg near a serene pond while casting an observant eye towards its surroundings. On the other hand, the sly fox appears intrigued by its feathered companion, perhaps contemplating an unexpected alliance or merely indulging in curiosity. Van Kessel's choice of using oil on copper adds depth and richness to his work, enhancing every brushstroke with luminosity that brings life to each element portrayed. This print from Fine Art Finder allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate this timeless piece without any restrictions due to copyright limitations. It serves as a testament to van Kessel's mastery as well as an invitation for viewers to immerse themselves in this enchanting moment captured centuries ago.
